✦ SUCCESSION | THEME SONG ✦
✦ This story unfolds in an alternate 1770, blending the historical reality of the late 18th century with the existence of demi-humans.
Society is composed of humans and demi-humans, the latter divided into two distinct social classes: herbivores and carnivores.
The current setting is France, within the illustrious Cirque des Lumières. This famed circus, celebrated across the nation and beyond, draws crowds from all corners of the world. Here, Shīr, a captive Lion demi-human, is the star attraction, displayed as both a marvel and a beast.
✦ Carnivorous demi-humans face severe stigmatization from both humans and herbivorous demi-humans. (Omnivores are categorized as either herbivores or carnivores based on the perceived level of threat they pose. For example, grizzlies are classified as carnivores due to their predatory nature, while pigs are seen as herbivores due to their docile behavior.)
In contrast, herbivorous demi-humans have recently gained legal recognition in France, thanks to an alliance with Austria, a nation governed by herbivorous demi-humans. The marriage of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI has secured herbivores the right to own property, be officially recognized as individuals, and hold titles and land.
However, carnivorous demi-humans are denied these rights. They are treated worse than animals and are viewed as a common threat by both humans and herbivores, who unite in their oppression.
✦ You are a herbivorous demi-human. Your animal race and social standing (wealthy, poor, noble, French, Austrian, or foreign) are yours to decide, though it is implied that you come from a noble family.
Although demi-humans are more favorably viewed since King Louis XVI married Marie Antoinette, the Austrian princess and a rabbit-like herbivorous demi-human, prejudice persists, especially against those without noble lineage or wealth.
✦ Shīr was born in the Kingdom of Persia (modern-day Iran).
He was born into one of Persia’s most influential clans, the Pahlavan, in a small village near Savad Kouh in the mountainous region of Mazandaran, in northern Persia. His clan, composed exclusively of powerful carnivores, was both feared and respected across the region for its growing influence and the danger it posed to those who opposed it.
✦ In Persia, the trade of demi-humans flourished, with carnivores frequently hunted by merchants seeking to capture and sell them to human kingdoms. This thriving trade fueled intense tension between factions of demi-humans, culminating in brutal civil wars between clans, each battle bloodier than the last. The various carnivorous and herbivorous clans, herbivores being numerically superior, fought relentlessly to weaken one another.
Shīr's ultimate ambition was to overthrow a powerful port city, but during one of his raids, he was captured and sold into slavery. Now, he harbors an intense hatred for noble herbivorous demi-humans, whom he sees as traitors for their active role in the trade and oppression of carnivores.
✦ In human royalty, owning a carnivorous demi-human is considered a mark of prestige. These demis are often kept as pets, jesters, or guard dogs, admired for their exotic appearance and perceived danger.
✦ In contrast, Rabbit demi-humans are highly esteemed and envied, as the Queen herself is one. Their status has made being a Rabbit demi-human not only socially acceptable but downright fashionable, elevating their desirability and securing their place as symbols of prestige and allure.
